Yes, I photograph every wedding with my assistant, Steve, who helps organise people, makes them laugh and also takes extra guest shots on request.
Are the
package prices all inclusive?
Yes, there are no hidden extras, all wedding packages cover everything
unless the wedding is faraway when a mileage fee may be added.
How do we book you?
I will give you a booking form with your information pack when we meet
up. Once availability is confirmed a deposit of £150 will secure your
booking.
Are those the only
packages you offer?
We offer a wide range of packages and can design an individual package
to suit your exact needs and budget if required.
How many photos do you
take?
After editing, we aim to give you 300-400 images to make your selection
from.
How long will the group
photos take?
This very much depends on the size of your wedding party and how many
group shots you require. We recommend that you keep group shots to a
minimum. We usually take group photos immediately after the ceremony and
suggest you set aside a minimum of 30 minutes for this. When compiling your
list please note that each group shot will take about 5 minutes but it can
take up to 15 minutes depending on the size of group and the willingness of
subjects. It is highly recommended that you appoint someone to be in charge
of gathering people for group shots as we obviously don't know any of your
guests. We will give them a copy of your group list so make it clear to them
that they are responsible for getting the groups you want!
What about Bride and
Groom shots?
The longer we can spend together the better! We recommend at least an
hour. These are the shots that you are going to want for your wall and your
album so we need to invest time to get you your perfect images.
Can we go somewhere else
for photos?
Yes, in fact we encourage it! It's lovely for you to be able to go
somewhere quiet for a short while to spend time with your new partner whist
getting some beautiful images. Remember, though, to add extra time for
travelling.
Is it OK for other
guests to take photos?
We have no objection to guests taking photos except for the Bride and Groom
shots when we need to be alone with the couple. However we do appreciate
guests not getting in our way or distracting guests while we are taking our
photos.
Do we have to provide
you with a meal?
We're only human and we need to eat! We never take photographs whilst
people are eating and usually use this time to take the weight off our feet,
recharge our batteries and back up your images. If you could arrange for
some refreshment at this point it would be most appreciated and avoid the
necessity for us to have to leave the venue in order to find food!
How long do you stay at
the wedding?
We won't leave until we're sure that we have everything you want. This
is usually at about 9 or 10 o'clock once you've had the first dance.
We have special surprise
planned, will you stay to photograph it?
Yes, of course! If you have anything special happening (confetti canons
during the first dance, Chinese Lanterns, Fireworks etc) we’d love to
capture it. Do please let us know in advance though and please ask someone
to keep us informed on the day – we can’t photograph something unless we
know about it!
Will there be an online
gallery?
Yes, a password-protected gallery is created but not until after you
have seen your photographs. The last thing you want is to return from
honeymoon to discover that all your guests have seen your photos before you!
When can we see our
photos?
I will display a small selection on my blog and on Facebook within two
days of your wedding. The rest of your images will be available when you
return from honeymoon; while you are away I will have your proof book
printed and create a cd of proof images.
Who designs the album?
Once you have chosen your favourite photos and told me which ones you'd
like to be in prominent positions, I design the albums personally. Once
designed you are encouraged to come and see your book design; to comment on
it and to make any changes before it goes off to be printed.
How long does the album
take to arrive?
Once you have approved your album design it takes about 5-6 weeks to
arrive.
Can we have our photos
on cd?
Yes, a disc of high-resolution images is included in each package. The
copyright remains the property of Linsey O'Neill Design at all times.
Can guests order photos
from the website?
Yes, they can view the gallery and purchase prints at great prices
meaning that you won't need to be involved with the process.
Do you do parents
albums?
Yes, once the main album is ordered, identical parents albums are
available at a large discount. Graphistudio also do beautiful mini books to
present to your guests.
Can we buy wall art from
you?
Yes, we offer a great range of Canvases, Acrylics, Aluminium prints and
framed images at great prices.
How much does it cost?
What are your wedding photos worth to you? Our packages, including an
album, start at £1995
but remember, price shouldn't be your only consideration when choosing
your photographer. It's impossible to recapture those precious moments so
it's vital to get the right person to photograph your day; too often we hear
of people who have seen our clients albums and have seen us at work say, "if
only we'd heard of Linsey before, we'd have used her for our wedding", it's
really sad.
We believe our
packages offer excellent value for money and will give you images you will
cherish.
How can we pay?
A deposit of £150 is payable on booking, the balance is due 28 days
before the wedding date. Payment can be made by cash, cheque, credit or
debit card or bank transfer. If you would like to split the payments into
instalments, this can be arranged.
Do you offer discounts
for off-season weddings?
Yes, we have special offers for off-peak ceremonies.
